↑ Village of Gilbertsville was not formed until 1896. Before then, Butternuts was in the area of Gilbertsville.

On the 10th day of April, 1792, the town of Butternuts was formed from Otsego. But its original area was soon diminished by the setting off of Pittsfield in 1797, and in 1808 it was reduced by the organization of Edmeston, and again in 1849 by the organization of Morris. The first settlement in the town was made in 1787.
